WAX BASED PENCILS - Studio Collection watercolour pencils are wax based, which make them perfect for laying down coverage. Use them dry like a regular pencil, or experiment with a wet brush to transform the colour into beautiful watercolour effects. EXCEPTIONAL SOLUBILITY - Apply water to your piece to discover the range of colour and effects that can be created with these rich, vibrant hues. You can also apply the colour on a separate palette with water to create your own watercolour paint. BREAK-RESISTANT CORES - Studio Collection pencils have high quality binders in the core so they will not break easily under pressure, even when dropped. SET - 50 piece set
